Hilarious paradox of the day: first assignment for Media Texts is an essay on Six Feet Under - which is probably the most death-obsessed TV show ever made, and has such dark undertones that it could easily lull its viewer into morbid depression ...

Second assignment for Media Texts (a.k.a. the absolute-cannot-fail major essay) is an essay on Singin' In The Rain. Just about the most cheerful, break-into-song-at-any-moment, feel-good, it's-a-wonderful-world film ever made!

Well. At least nobody can ever say Monash School of ASS graduates can't handle their deadlines.
